Emerson College adds period products to men's restrooms, meeting group's demand for 'menstrual equality'
Fox News ^ | May 1, 2023 | Taylor Penley

Emerson College will provide menstrual products in all its bathrooms – including men's and gender-neutral restrooms – in response to lobbying from a campus group that, in its own words, fights "for inclusivity, menstrual equality, and the de-stigmatization of menstruation and periods."

A Change.org petition started by the group Emerson Flows in April 2022 called for the change to take place before presenting the approximately 400 signatures the push had amassed to Vice President of Student Life Jim Hoppe.

"We are Emerson Flows, an advocacy and education based organization dedicated to fighting for inclusivity, menstrual equality, and the de-stigmatization of menstruation and periods," the petition reads.

Hoppe approved an initiative to allocate $7,000 per year for menstrual products to go in all bathrooms across the institution – regardless of gender, according to a report from The Berkeley Beacon.

Emily Lang, president of Emerson Flows, said the initial push led to the products being offered in only 30% of women's restrooms across campus, but her group felt access should be extended to all restrooms regardless of gender affiliation.

"While I understand that the majority of the menstruators at this school are cis[gender] women, we should still treat men who also menstruate with the same level of respect," she said, per The Beacon's report. "You get period products just like everyone else, and you get the same amount, because you’re just as valid."

The initiative to bring the products to all restrooms is set to take effect in July.

I sometimes wonder if anal sex isn’t contributing to a rise in incontinence and this is what is behind the push for plugs in male restrooms.

Interesting how these insane idiots put menstrual products in “men’s” bathrooms, but rip out the urinals.

Vice President of Student Life

That’s one of the things wrong with education these days…an abundance of do-nothing, make work, administrators. When I was in college there was a Dean of Men and a Dean of Women. They basically ran dorms. I suppose that’s a real job. When I was in high school there was a principal and a vice principal for the entire school. The local school district has both, for each grade, 9 thru 12.

The result: tampons for men. But it’s not a complete loss. Tampons are great for a wicked bloody nose.

Too much buggery can have that effect as well.
